Due to a proposed changeover to build machines for a project I'm involved with, I need at least glib 2.19.
Do you know why? As in, what features or fixes are required? If not, I
think John's question is pertinent. If you're building a binaries to distribute, your best bet might actually be to produce multiple builds targeting specific Linux distributions. Alternately, some specific LSB release (none of which, as far as I can tell, require glibc 2.19+).
To all...yes I meant glibc, not glib. Target environment -- could be any version of Linux. This is for Apache OpenOffice. The buildbots we've been using are being decommisioned due to EOL. As a developer on that project, I need to be able to test and use the builds. We'll be moving to a Ubuntu 14 environment, which is spec'd at glibc 2.19 near as I can determine. So a long story. We will not be building for targeted environments.
Write after I wrote this, I thought maybe I could get a zip of what I needed and just install it without overwriting my setup. Then set an env variable to run the generated build.
Thanks for the responses.
Right now I have glib 2.12, and even on CentOS7-32 bit, what I see is glib 2.14.
CentOS 7 is built on glibc 2.17.
Also, minor correction: "glib" is the name of a different library than
glibc.
